Because he's a blustering liar, who overestimates his own negotiating abilities, and probably doesn't actually care to fulfill the many promises he's made.

Also, he's obviously working to help Russia, and israel

Because he has no power anywhere. He is the laughing stock of the world. Everyone knows he has no real power except to destroy America.

He hasn’t done so because he doesn’t actually want to do so. He wants to put on a dog and pony show and make himself look good. Not actually solve real problems.

Additionally, regarding the Ukraine War, there’s not a damn thing the US could do to end the war except wipe one or both parties off the map completely, killing everyone.

As far as Israel’s aggression, we could put a damper on it for a little while by not selling Israel any more weapons, but that again wouldn’t actually stop the fighting. Israel is actually pretty good at making weapons themselves. Again the only way to stop the fighting in the region, for real, would be to go in and just kill everyone. The bad blood between all the parties runs too deep.

A slower more peaceful solution in both regions might have been possible a few months ago, but our international credibility has gone down the tubes faster than I would have thought possible.

The best advice I can give anyone right now is stop listening to what they say and start watching what they are actually doing.

Best not to spend too much energy worrying about what’s going on the other end of the globe right now though. I suspect things in our own country are going to get a lot more interesting before too long and it may not hold off till midterm elections, let alone the next Presidential election.

Because he's a con artist. He's made lots of grandiose "promises" he has no ability or desire to follow through on. If you want to be a proper MAGA sychophant you need to stop asking questions and learn the latest talking points.

Because he doesn't care. Only if it benefits him will he do something
